Latin American and Caribbean Art

The full title of this exhibit at the New York State Museum is Latin American and Caribbean Art: Selected Highlights from the Collection of the Museum of Modern Art. If we had used the complete title in the headline, however, you wouldn’t be able to see the image.

This is the latest in the museum’s Bank of America series, which has brought some tremendous traveling exhibits to our little state capital over the years. This is no exception, as the artists to be featured include Wifredo Lam, Diego Rivera, Joaquin Torres-Garcia, Lygia Clark, Alejandro Otero and many more.

Pictured is Lam’s Mother and Child (1939).

Latin American and Caribbean Art opens Saturday (May 17) at the New York State Museum (Empire State Plaza, Albany), and will run through Oct. 13. For more info, call 474-5877.
